Sprint HTC Evo Shift 4G free with contract until January 7

The HTC Evo Shift 4G for Sprint can now be yours for free if you agree to sign a new two-year contract. And unlike what usually happens, this offer doesn’t come from a big third-party retailer, but from the carrier itself. Just one caveat – the deal is only valid through January 7. So you have three more days to take advantage of it.

The Evo Shift 4G is no new device, in fact it’s around its one-year birthday already. And during its lifetime it has been free before (though from Amazon and Wirefly). As of now, you can get it from Wirefly for $0.99, which is also basically free – if somehow you have something against purchasing directly from Sprint.

If you’d rather get one from Amazon, know that the price being asked there is $29.99. Again, a new two-year contract is mandatory in order to get these prices.

The HTC Evo Shift 4G may not be a high-end device, but it’s a decent midranger, and it’s the only Evo handset to sport a full physical QWERTY keyboard. If you’d like to get one for free from Sprint, this is the link to click.
